2003 Subaru Baja review from North America
"An OK drive but utterly useless for cargo in stock as-delivered."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Squeaky windows when wet.
General comments?
Seats are comfortable. Moderate gas guzzler. The open back bed is utterly useless for anything larger than a few bags of topsoil. Looks like they took a wagon and chopped off the back to make this WEIRD car. Only from Japan would have come a bizarre car as the Subaru Baja. An after-market hard fiberglass, carbon fibre or metal hinged and LOCKABLE WATERPROOF cover or lid for the cargo area would be a WELCOME ACCESSORY.
